One Name Studies: A to G / George Grimm 1850-1927

I am trying to figure out the origin of George. Most records say he was born in Germany, A couple say Ohio. I know he was charged with murdering his daughter and was institutionalized in Chicago. I heard rumor he may have grown up in an orphanage in Chicago but I am not sure I believe that. I also heard he was married before Elizabeth Jacobs. This I believe because the oldest sons birth and the immigration/marriage seems off. Let me know if you have any suggestions.

Quote from: JACK GEE on Wednesday 07 September 22 14:11 BST (UK)

The Ballynashannagh McClures sold their land in the mid 1980’s that had been in the family for 300 years, thus purchased in the 1680’s. The property was in the following family line – [George McClure{1750Ballynashannagh-??}], David McClure[1775Ballynashannagh-1839],[John McClure[1807Ballynashannagh-1883Kerrykeel],[Thomas McClure[1850Ballynashannagh-1926Ballynashannagh]  [William McClure[1893Ballynashannagh-1971Ballynashannagh] ,[Son McClure – Alive].


Hi Jack I am stuck here. Do your have any documents to show this lineage? Or anything else related to it? I am a descendant of this line in the US. Any help you have would be great.
